Ahead to the Future – New and existing CO2 sources as well as the development of CO2 applications

Advanced Cryogenics, Ltd. is also a supplier of consulting services to emerging commercial CO2 source – types, such as current and future developments of fuel cell technologies, which in some cases, yield a CO2 by-product stream. The company evaluates pure sequestration options which today are subsidized by 45Q and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Such include Class VI wells, sequestration into concrete, chemicals, and advanced chemicals and products.
As for the issue of CO2 sequestration, as related to emissions reduction efforts and mandates; the company provides consulting services in the definition of all viable CO2 sinks which may be applicable to the carbon dioxide source in question. Please contact us for further information on your requirements, whether they involve emissions reduction tasks or questions, or if they should involve issues related to the refinement, production, marketing, and infrastructure which is related to the successful recovery, purification, and application of CO2 in any industry or process which may occur. The requirements for consulting services can also include expert witness requirements associated with carbon dioxide plants, markets, applications, and the industry in general.
CO2 quality and specifications are critical to serving the correct markets
Quality issues are an integral part of supplying product to various sectors of the industry. Many of today’s US plants produce beverage grade, otherwise defined as CGA ‘i’ grade, or ISBT grade. The table below illustrates this.
